Shall we stop?
In this months episode, we explore one of the most challenging aspects of paramedic practice — discontinuing resuscitation and how to deliver that news with compassion and clarity. Breaking bad news following a cardiac arrest is a crucial skill, yet often done poorly. We discuss who should take the lead, how to manage dynamic prehospital environments, and how to tell families their loved one has died after a cardiac arrest.
From delivering effective warning shots to preparing families for what to expect, we share practical advice and real-world experience to help emergency care professionals navigate this sensitive situation. Whether you're a paramedic, emergency doctor, or part of a resuscitation team, this episode offers invaluable insights to improve your communication skills and patient care.
